“We are glad that we are in a position to give and feel like it is our duty. Those who are in a position to give are somewhat obligated to contribute. That has truly been my feeling all my life and that includes me and Laura Lynn.”

Accounting and Health Care Administration Major

Hometown: Savannah

Expected Graduation Date: May 2015

“I wanted to pursue a degree in health care because I want to be able to help others. Double majoring in accounting and health care administration would help me further my knowledge in all aspects of the field. I know that when I graduate I will be able to find a job in the health care field because there are many windows of opportunity and the number of jobs will continue to grow in the years ahead. The new health science building is the only way I believe the health care administration major could grow at our school. I know that we have very good professors who care about their students and the health care field, so I cannot wait to see how successful the major becomes at Valdosta State University.”
